The masterpiece of medicine "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases"

Zhang Ji, courtesy name Zhongjing, was a famous doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He wrote the sixteen volumes of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" (also known as Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases) around 210 AD. Named "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Death"). This masterpiece is the first classic in the history of traditional Chinese medicine that contains principles, methods, prescriptions and medicines. It established the principle of dialectical treatment of the six meridians and recorded a large number of effective prescriptions. It has been highly praised by doctors of all ages and the foreign medical community, and is known as "The ancestor of all directions and the ancestor of all directions".

This book was divided into two books in later generations: Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. Zhang Zhicong, a medical doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Those who do not understand the Four Books cannot be Confucian, and those who do not understand the main treatise (Treatise on Febrile Diseases) cannot be doctors." According to incomplete statistics, from the Jin Dynasty to the present, the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" has been compiled, annotated, and studied. "More than a thousand Chinese and foreign scholars." This book and the prescriptions listed in it have exerted varying degrees of influence and promotion on the development of medicine in North Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Mongolia and other countries. Otsuka Keisuke, winner of the "Highest Meritorious Service Award" of the Japanese Medical Association, once said: ""Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is the world's highest classical medical work discussing therapeutics."

Zhang Zhongjing diligently seeks ancient teachings? He has superb medical skills

Zhang Zhongjing admired Bian Que when he was young He has great medical skills, so he loves medicine. When he was 10 years old, he became a disciple of Uncle Zhang, a doctor from the same county. He studied hard and was not afraid of hardships. Zhang Zhongjing "diligently sought ancient teachings" and carefully studied ancient medical books. At that time, people praised him as "his knowledge and subtlety surpassed that of his teachers." He also "collected many prescriptions", extensively collected ancient and modern prescriptions, studied various folk treatment methods, and accumulated a large amount of information. When diagnosing diseases and studying, he always "takes exams for verification" and is meticulous.

Zhang Zhongjing was modest and prudent. He said in the preface of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases": "Confucius said: Those who are born with knowledge are superior, and those who are learned are inferior. Those who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable are inferior to those who know. Yu Su still advocates alchemy. ”

The Western Jin Dynasty medical scientist recorded the anecdote of Zhang Zhongjing treating Wang Can (also known as Zhongxuan), one of the “Seven Sons of Jian’an”, in the preface to Huangfu Mi’s Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classics A and B. .

When Wang Zhongxuan was in his twenties, Zhang Zhongjing saw him one day and said to him: "You are sick. When you are forty years old, your eyebrows will fall off, and you will die in six months. Now take the medicine Five-stone soup can avoid this problem." Wang Can felt unhappy after hearing this and did not take medicine. Three days later, Zhang Zhongjing saw Wang Can again and asked him if he could take the medicine. Wang Can said he had eaten it. Zhang Zhongjing saw that he had not taken any medicine and said, "Why do you despise your own life?" Wang Can remained silent. Twenty years later, his eyebrows slowly fell off, and he died one hundred and eighty days later.

Zhang Zhongjing can predict the details of the disease and its onset twenty years later, and even calculate the time accurately. Not only that, he can also provide the magic remedy to eliminate the disease. It's a pity that the patient didn't listen to his diagnosis. In the end, everything the Medical Sanctuary said was true, which impressed future generations. Traditional Chinese medicine is wonderful and extraordinary. It contains many mysteries such as the unity of nature and man, yin and yang, five elements, supernatural powers, etc., which are beyond the reach of modern Western medicine.

The preface of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" warns the world

What Zhang Zhongjing left behind is not only the principles and prescriptions for diagnosis, but also the important philosophy of life.

The original preface of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" reads: "The Five Elements are laid out by God to transport all kinds of things. People are endowed with the five constants, so there are five treasures. The meridians are Fushu, Yin and Yang are connected, Xuanming is subtle, and it is difficult to change. Extremely, if you don’t have great knowledge, how can you explore its truth?”

The general idea of ??this paragraph is that the energy of the five elements is distributed in nature, and all things are transformed by it. The human body is endowed with the normal qi of the five elements and has the physiological functions of the five internal organs. Meridians, Luo, Fu, Shu, yin and yang intersect and connect, they are mysterious, obscure, deep, mysterious, and the changes are inexhaustible. If you are not a highly talented and knowledgeable person, how can you explore the truth and meaning?

Zhang Zhongjing also said: "It is strange that the people living in today's world have not paid attention to medicine and studied alchemy carefully. They are used to cure the illnesses of the emperor and relatives, to save the poor and the lowly, and to protect their health. To maintain one's livelihood. However, competing for fame and power, striving for power and wealth, focusing only on fame and fortune, and neglecting the basics, the beauty on the outside and the inside are gone, and the hair will be attached. Yan? ”

Zhang Zhongjing is indeed a saint. When he discussed medical prescriptions, he also clarified the principles of life.

He pointed out that the scholars in the society at that time did not pay much attention to medicine and did not study medical prescriptions and medical skills carefully. Instead, they strived for glory and power, looked up to powerful families, and regarded fame and wealth as the only important thing. As a result, although they were luxurious on the outside, their bodies were decaying on the inside. .

If the skin no longer exists, where will the hair be attached? This question is exactly applicable to today's society. Under the influence of atheism and the philosophy of struggle, people have abandoned traditional morality, the teachings of their ancestors, and the essence of culture and technology, and are rushing on the dangerous road of abandoning the good and pursuing the weak.

Nineteen hundred years ago, a book called "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" opened up a new situation in Chinese and Asian medicine and saved countless people. Today, in Zhang Zhongjing’s hometown, after dynasty changes and the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, the essence of traditional Chinese medicine has been gradually lost. After being indoctrinated by atheism, most Chinese people in modern society do not believe in divine power and magical powers, and believe that traditional Chinese medicine that conforms to the law of heaven and the five elements is out of date. Not only that, many doctors and drug manufacturers have even abandoned the basic principle of saving the world and helping people. Quack doctors and fake medicines are rampant, and even poisonous vaccines are injected into the human body, causing harm to people without even considering the consequences. If a person has no virtue, benevolence, benevolence, and good medicine will be hard to find.

As Chinese people, we should cherish our unique cultural heritage. From being a human being to governing the world, all areas and classes of society can benefit immensely from traditional values. By being simple and truthful, and being humble and introspective, such a life will be full and happy, and such a society will also be prosperous, prosperous, and free from disasters.
